Wyoming Hazleton. One tenant who must take oxygen was transported in the Hazleton ambulance to the ambulatory care unit at Hazleton St-Joseph Medical Center where he was treated and released. He was identified by a medical center spokesman as 85-year-old John Dutzer. Hazleton Fire Chief Girard A. Caso Jr.

said the fire was caused by a malfunction that caused a backfire that set the oil residue on fire. Twelve firefighters and equipment from the Pioneer, Diamond and East End companies responded at about 7:05, handled the situation and were back on station at 7:30. Charles Miller, manager of Dave's, said the market was open for business, and that the smoke damage was limited to the rear of the building. Unofficial reports are that the problem happened while a plumber was working on the furnace. Tenant Helen Smith, whose husband John was at work at the time, said she got up at 7 o'clock, and a little later heard a noise followed by the smoke alarm going off.

She said she woke her son Andrew and that they, along with Strong earthquake hits near Acapulco GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) A strong earthquake struck near Acapulco, Mexico, authorities said today. The quake struck at 9:09 p.m. Sunday MST and was centered 50 miles northeast of the Mexican resort, said Russ Needham, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center.

The tremor measured 5.5 on the Richter scale, he said, but added, "I would not expect any damage out of it." The Richter scale is a measure of ground motion as recorded on seismographs. Every increase of one number means a tenfold increase in magnitude. An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 can cause slight damage in the local area, 4 moderate damage, 5 considerable damage, 6 severe damage. A 7 reading is a "major" earthquake, capable of widespread heavy damage; 8 is a "great" quake, capable of tremendous damage. Game (Continued from page 1) Fuller collaborated on the game with inventor Stanley Mason, whose 30 patents include Masonware microwave cookware, and Roy Doty, a humorous illustrator.

The three formed Tongue-inCheek Productions and sold the rights to market the game to Regent Continental, a Philadelphia-based company that produces board games for some of the nation's largest toy makers. The company plans to have a pilot run of 10,000 games, selling at $25 retail, available mostly in the Northeast by April 1, said Cindy Levinson, an account executive for Regent. "Fleece the Flock" is only the latest board game to capitalize on people in the news. Milton Bradley, maker of the some of the country's most popular games, last month unveiled "Trump The Game," based on the wheeling and dealing of billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump. Analysts say any new entry into the $760 million-a-year boardgame industry faces an uphill battle.

"More than half the new toys introduced in any given year do not make it past that year's said David S. Leibowitz, a toy industry analyst with American Securities Corp. in New York. "The success of any new toy item is pretty tough." But Fuller and her collaborators say they are confident that Americans' seemingly endless fascination with the foibles of television evangelists will create a niche for their game. During five months of testing, the inventors were dumbfounded to discover one common trait among test players: They all were cheating by the end of the game.

That prompted the inclusion of one rule assumed in most games: "Thou shalt not cheat (unless thou canst get away with it)." No real-life evangelist is named and the inventors insist they are not attacking religion itself. Fuller is a Unitarian; Doty and Mason are both Methodists. "It's a comment on humanity," Mason said. "It's aimed at the human foibles we have, when we'll support people like this when we know they are evil." their three cats, left the building. Bob Onderko said he and Linda Ameron, along with children Rose Mary, 11; Kimberly, 7, and Robert 4, heard the smoke alarm and then left the building.

Helga Van Blargan said she and her daughters left when the smoke reached their apartment. The tenants were back in their apartments by 8 o'clock after fans cleared the building of the smoke. Shuttle (Continued from page 1) science and military satellites. With the new satellite operational, Mission Control will be able to communicate with an orbiting shuttle 85 percent of the time, in contrast with the old system of ground stations which provided only 15 percent coverage. NASA plans to shut six of those ground stations at a monthly savings of $3 million.

Immediately on reaching orbit, commander Michael L. Coats pitched the shuttle's nose down SO crewmate Dr. James M. Bagian could photograph the 154-foot-tall external fuel tank as it drifted away toward a breakup over the Indian Ocean. On the last shuttle mission, Atlantis' thermal tiles were severely damaged by insulation that stripped off the tank after it was hit by debris that fell off one of the solid fuel booster rockets.

Modifications were made to correct the problem, and today's photographs should show if any more insulation came off. "Jim got some real good pictures of the tank from the overhead' window, Coats reported. "We can see it real well." Coats and his crew were awakened at 3:16 a.m. and, in a surprise, showed up for breakfast wearing business suits and ties. Fine china and candles adorned the table for the steak and eggs feast.

Wearing the suits instead of the normal casual wear apparently was a tongue-in-cheek response to word that NASA was trying to curb astronauts' penchant for fun. Officials reportedly were annoyed by a televised show two missions ago when the crew floated through the shuttle cabin wearing colorful Hawaiian shirts. Flying with Coats, a 43-year-old Navy captain, are Air Force Col. John E. Blaha, 46, the pilot; Marine Cols.

James F. Buchli, 43, and Robert C. Springer, 46, and Bagian, 36, a physician. Coats and Buchli have flown on previous shuttle flights. Discovery originally was set for liftoff Feb.

18, but the launch was postponed four times by the need to replace faulty or suspect engine parts. Shuttle chief Richard Truly said the success of this mission is "absolutely vital" to NASA's continued recovery from the Challenger accident and the agency's move toward safe, routine, once-a-month shuttle launches by 1992. Following the flight, the 1989 shuttle schedule lists the launch of the Magellan probe to Venus in April, secret Defense Department payloads in July and August, the Galileo mission to Jupiter in October, a communications satellite in November and the Hubble Space Telescope in December. Coats said the first two postChallenger flights by Discovery in September and Atlantis in December "were important to show that we could fly the space shuttle again after the catastrophe. "The next step," Coats said, "is to prove we can do it on a regular basis, that we're back in the business of space, to show we're a space-faring nation again." The mission is filled with scientific experiments.

The rats, with chips of bone cut from their legs, are to be studied to determine how well broken bones heal in the weightlessness of space. The animals will be compared with a ground control group of four rats. Researchers believe healing will be slower in space because astronauts have suffered loss of calcium during flights. The experiment is an important step toward learning how well a broken human bone might mend during long flights aboard a space station or on a trip to Mars. Also aboard is a special 70 mm IMAX camera to photograph deteriorating areas of the Earth.

"They're trying to produce a movie that shows the Earth as a very fragile thing in the universe and that maybe everybody on Earth ought to pay a little attention to not destroying it," Blaha said in a recent interview. The astronauts also will conduct experiments to determine the effects of weightlessness on plant cell division, the growth of protein crystals and the development of chicken embryos. Discovery is to remain in orbit for five days, one hour, seven minutes, landing Saturday at Edwards Air Force Base in California..
